  Solution:
  
  Check for Duplicates: Before transmission, verify the supplier records in the source system to ensure that there are no duplicates. You can do this by querying the database or using SAP transaction codes like MK03 (Display Vendor) to check existing records.
  Data Cleansing: If duplicates are found, clean the data by removing or consolidating duplicate entries before attempting to transmit again.
  Review Transmission Logic: If you are using a custom program or interface for data transmission, review the logic to ensure it correctly handles existing records and does not attempt to insert duplicates.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your data transmission process to catch and log duplicate records before they are sent to SAP.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific interface or module you are using for any additional guidance on handling supplier records.
